Hurricane Milton, initially a Category 5 storm, made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane near Siesta Key, Florida, bringing life-threatening winds exceeding 100 mph, storm surges, and heavy rain, which have caused extensive flooding and power outages affecting over one million homes and businesses. The storm weakened to a Category 2 as it moved inland, but continued to wreak havoc with tornadoes reported across the state, resulting in multiple fatalities and significant structural damage in areas like St. Lucie County and Wellington. Governor Ron DeSantis urged residents to remain indoors due to the dangers posed by flooding and strong winds. In response to the threat, evacuation orders affected millions, and airports in Tampa and Sarasota were closed. Wisconsin-based first responders are on standby to assist with post-storm recovery efforts, reflecting the scale of the anticipated damage. As Milton moves across Florida, concerns remain for further impacts, including potential flooding along rivers and lakes.
